A.I. is everywhere… you can’t be in the ICT industry without A.I. impacting you in some way these days… even if it’s just the need to stay well informed on progress, adoption, and trends.

There’s currently a tremendous focus on building data centers for this new life form, but to build A.I. in the cloud, we need a different type of plane to get there.

Our guest is Alastair Waite, Senior Market Development Manager for data centers at CommScope.

Earl Parsons and guest host Mike Cooper dig into fiber dispersion and next generation transmission.

CommScope Systems Engineer Mungree Singh discusses the FiberGuide Fiber Management System.

In 1984, Rockwell released the song “Somebody’s Watching Me”… a song about a guy who feels like he’s always being watched. But this was 1984…

Fast forward to 2024, and there are cameras everywhere, making up a major element to a larger security apparatus we’ve all come to expect everywhere we go. We even have them in doorbells today.

The interesting thing is, what might have seemed a bit intrusive in 1984 has become almost comforting and reassuring 40 years later. Cameras today don’t represent an always-watching surveillance state once feared. They’re actually effective tools, and they do so much more than just simply watch.
